Homosexual Showcase

For many individuals today, the world is a cruel place if your sexual preference is different from everyone else’s. Our topic for the showcase on April 24^th was discrimination against Homosexuals. Our main goal was to show the audience some situations on how homosexuals were being discriminated in today’s society. We did this by acting out different scenes, such as coming out to their parents, being judged in a store or being looked out differently by friends, that the audience chose themselves. This also got the audience more involved and willing to participate more, that way our group could get our message out more and more clearly. We also got some visual attributes that had some quotes from interviews that we had gotten, as well as pictures of the Equality sign and the “gay” flag. We also had some pictures of homosexual celebrities that everyone seemed to know of and made a difference on how we view their sexual preference in the first place. To finish it off, we had a little display of a marriage gown and tuxedos that were paired up in different ways, for example a pair of tuxedos and and a pair of two marriage gowns,  and one pair of a tuxedo and a marriage gown. These would represent another symbol of discrimination because marriage between two people of the same sex is banned in most states. The homosexual community has been in need of support from their own society for quite some time now. With more and more Homosexual relationships and preferences showing up, the world has gotten a little more used to the fact each time.
